Definitions
- This invention relates to modular office furniture and, in particular, to a secure locking system for contiguous panels of the furniture which allows such panels to be used in either orientation.
- Modular office systems have become increasingly popular for their ease of installation and relatively low cost in association with the flexibility such systems provide. Office cubicles, desks and partitions can be easily rearranged or disassembled as personnel requirements change. However, these office systems must also be stable enough to withstand continuous use while also being capable of delivering essential utilities such as electrical power, telephones and computer networking. Because of the modular construction of such office systems, supplying such utilities must be conveniently accomplished. It is also desirable to organize the utility wiring throughout the modular system to facilitate repair or replacement.
- Prior known office systems are very rigid in their construction variations.
- a frame is provided to which appropriate panels, drawers and desktops are mounted. Wiring may be run through the frame or between panels. connected to form cubicles and partitions are configured for assembly in only one orientation. This requires the manufacture and inventory of two sets of panels to allow complete assembly of an office system.
- the present invention overcomes the disadvantages of the prior known modular office system by providing modular panels which may be assembled in either of a dual orientation and locked together to prevent inadvertent disconnection.
- the furniture panels which are assembled to form a modular office system such as partitions and cubicles have a substantially planar configuration with a floor engaging bottom edge and a finished top edge.
- the panel includes at least one side edge which facilitates connection to a contiguous panel.
- Intermediate panels will include two side edge connections while an end panel will include a finished side edge for aesthetic purposes.
- the side edge of the panel will include a plurality of T-shaped tabs adapted to be received in corresponding slots of an upright frame member. Upon inserting the tabs into the slots, the panel is shifted downwardly so as to lock the cross-portion of the tab behind the slot. To prevent inadvertent disconnection of the panel, a fastener bar is deployed to prevent movement of the panel. The bar is laterally shiftable from within the panel to an extended position engaging the upright frame member.
- FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a panel for forming a modular furniture system and including a fastening system embodying the present invention
- FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the panel being joined with an upright support member
- FIG. 3 is an enlarged view of the panel joined to the upright support
- FIG. 4 is a perspective view of a shelf bracket incorporating the fastener bar of the present invention.
- FIG. 5 is an exploded view of the shelf bracket being joined to an upright support
- FIG. 6 is an enlarged view of the fastener bar employed in the shelf bracket.
- FIGS. 1 through 3 there is shown a modular panel 10 for forming an office furniture system such as a cubicle or partition.
- a plurality of panels 10 are joined to form the required cubicle or partition.
- the panels 10 are detachably connected to upright support member 12 which support the panels 10 along the floor.
- the panels 10 have a substantially planar configuration with a floor engaging bottom edge 14 and a finished top edge 16 .
- At least one of the side edges 18 includes a plurality of connector tabs 20 .
- connector tabs 20 will be formed along bottom side edges 18 .
- For an end panel, only one such edge 18 will include connector tabs 20 while the outside termination edge will be finished for aesthetic purposes (FIG. 1 ).
- the connector tabs 20 are spaced along the side edge 18 and correspond to slots 22 formed in the upright support member 12 .
- the connector tabs 20 have a T configuration with an outwardly extending transverse portion 24 and a cross portion 26 .
- the connector tabs 20 are configured such that upon insertion into the slots 22 , the panel 10 can be shifted downwardly to move the cross portion 26 behind the wall 28 for the slots 22 . Accordingly, the tabs 20 cannot be withdrawn from the slots 22 without first shifting the panel 10 upwardly. Moreover, by utilizing a T-shaped tab 20 , the panel 10 can be employed in a dual orientation, eg. flipping the panel 10 over such that the finished outer edge is on the opposite side of the support 12 .
- a fastener bar 30 is deployed to prevent shifting the panel 10 top extract the tabs 20 .
- the fastener bar 30 is retracted within the panel 10 .
- the bar 30 can be extended from the interior of the panel 10 and into a corresponding slot 22 in the upright 12 . Since the bar 30 has the same width as the length of the slot 22 , upon insertion of the bar 30 the panel 10 will not be shiftable relative to the support 12 .
- the bar 20 is secured within the panel 10 by a threaded fastener 32 which is received in a lateral slot 34 facilitating retraction and extension of the bar 30 .
- a fastener bar 130 is utilized to secure a shelf bracket 110 to an upright support 112 .
- the shelf bracket 110 includes a side edge 118 having a plurality of spaced apart connector tabs 120 .
- the connector tabs 120 have an L configuration with an outwardly extending portion 124 and a cross portion 126 formed perpendicular to portion 124 .
- the bracket 110 is shifted downwardly to move the cross portion behind the wall 128 .
- the fastener bar 130 may be extended into a slot 122 to prevent shifting of the bracket 110 .
- the bar 130 is secured by a threaded fastener 132 extending through lateral slot 134 .
- the fastener bar 130 In order to remove the bracket 110 , the fastener bar 130 must be retracted from slot 122 allowing the bracket 110 , the fastener bar 130 must be retracted from slot 122 allowing the bracket 110 to be shifted upwardly for extraction of the connector tabs 120 .
